I, Hikigaya, am just a light novelist

"what's the situation?"

He was stunned for a moment, then typed a reply.

Me: I went to the Immortal River headquarters today and happened to meet Ms. Yamada. Then she treated me to dinner and chatted for a while about how to create better works.

Nayuta: It turns out that's just the way it is. Then I'm relieved. It seems like that guy deliberately exaggerated it.

Me: So, what is going on? And why did I give him this nickname? I thought 'elementary school goblin' was too much.

Nayuta: Just look at the tweet that guy posted. As for this nickname, don’t you know about it, senior? Goblins, or elves, are a frequent female protagonist in books, and of course they are nymphomaniacs! In addition, she also likes to implement the xp of complete nudity in the book, which is so erotic!

"Is this what happened?"

Hikigaya Hachiman understood, then logged on to the website and took a look at the latest tweet posted by Ms. Yamada.

The title was 'I went out on a date with Teacher Yueshi today', and then there was a bright selfie of himself smiling, but his body was not exposed.

He examined it a little.

The so-called dates include meetings between friends, colleagues, or romantic relationships.

Obviously, they can only be regarded as a meeting between friends. Ms. Yamada may not have considered these issues in her mind, but the commentators who like to make noises will definitely not think so simply.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Teacher Yamada has already knelt down under Teacher Yueshi's jeans!"

"What jeans? Teacher Yue Se didn't appear in the scene, only a pair of hands. It seems that the rumors are true. Teacher Yue Se is also very young."

"This date you're talking about, is it serious?"

"Although Mr. Yamada's writing is not very good, he is good-looking. Damn it, he actually took advantage of the old thief Yue Xi."

"The CP is locked now, and Teacher Ke'er fainted in the toilet from crying...! (laughing)"

"The party struggle hasn't started yet, but it's going to end now!?"

"I still feel that Teacher Ke'er is more suitable. Yesterday I saw an analysis post of "Silver Season". Through content comparison, Teacher Ke'er seems to be the girl who was saved by Teacher Yuezi!"

"Hey, why do I feel like I can't keep up with your steps? How come everyone knows so much? Am I the only one who only reads books and doesn't care about this?"

…

After reading it, Hikigaya Hachiman was speechless.

Everyone is speculating on CP, right?

In his memories of his past life, a certain god in the voice acting world encountered such a scene. In the end, various CPs came, which in disguise increased everyone's attention and popularity to him.

If he took advantage of the situation and said some ambiguous words, he might be able to achieve a similar effect.

However, since he is an author, and he does not want to appear in the spotlight, there is no need to hype such topics. The winner must be determined by the quality of the work itself.

In order to prevent such incidents from happening, he deliberately messed up the atmosphere and jokingly typed:

"Principal girl, please lower your head and calm down."

As soon as these words came out, people couldn't help but smile, and the readers began to make fun of Yamada Fairy.

"Hahaha, is Miss Yamada being disliked?"

"It's so funny. Teacher Yue Se's answer is too ridiculous."

"I wonder what Mr. Yamada's expression would be like when he saw this."

"Teacher Tsukoshi, you must be shy, right? After all, in terms of appearance, Mr. Yamada is as cute as his pen name, and as cute as a fairy."

"If Teacher Yuezi doesn't want it, please give it to me!"

Of course, this sentence also led to a result. That night, Miss Yamada connected with him on a video call and shouted wildly: "Hikigaya, you dare to say that I am a common girl! You should tell me what I am. How ordinary!”

Fortunately, he was wearing headphones, otherwise the girl's question would have echoed throughout the house.

"You're kidding, don't be so excited. It wasn't you, Ms. Yamada, who sent an inexplicable tweet first."

In a few words, Hikigaya Hachiman clarified his responsibilities.

"It's not some weird tweet! There's nothing wrong with sharing your updates! The date I mentioned is not the kind of date you imagined..."

Miss Yamada was about to argue, but he interrupted her midway

"That's not what Ms. Yamada said before... I specifically allow you to have a delusion once! What is the plot that requires delusion..."

He deliberately acted like Miss Yamada, and then his tone became more teasing.

Miss Yamada's face suddenly turned red like a big apple, and she didn't know whether she was shy or embarrassed.

"Okay, Hikigaya, I won't argue with you about this today!"

She finished her sentence and quickly closed the video.

"It sounds like you have spared me a lot of mercy. Well, I don't care about this kind of thing with you, Ms. Yamada."

Hikigaya Hachiman smiled and took off his headphones.

…

One night three days later.

Eri Kashiwagi: Mr. Tsukiro, I would like to ask for your permission. Recently, with the vote of my fans, I am going to make a doujinshi called "Summer Returns". Is that okay?

Seeing this message, Hikigaya Hachiman fell into silence for three minutes. After examining it for a long time, he replied.

Me: Of course, you don’t need to ask for my permission for this kind of thing.

Although doujinshi is a gray industry, once the convention is established, as long as it does not directly fake the original work and affect copyright operations and other aspects, the copyright owners will not care. Instead, they will consider it a kind of propaganda and a way to maintain popularity. s method.

For example, the popularity of many characters and animations still exists after many years because of a group of people who maintain it.

Eri Kashiwagi: It’s okay if you don’t know me, but after all, I am a teacher’s friend. If I don’t get permission, I always feel a little embarrassed.

Me: There is no need to be embarrassed, not to mention that this kind of issue is not something I should consider, but an issue that the Immortal River Library needs to consider.

Eri Kashiwagi: Reason is such a reason, so all I want is your permission, teacher. Is that really okay?

Me: Of course, I even have some expectations. Teacher Eri Kashiwagi, your painting style is very good, I quite like it.

After typing these words, the expression on the other side of the chat with the girl with blond hair and twin tails was a bit strange.

The author she likes actually praised her book. It was not an online comment made by a stranger. She was inexplicably embarrassed. Moreover, Teacher Yue Se was probably a boy of her own age...

Yinglili stretched out her hands and touched her face, and found that it was very hot.

What a shame.

77 Frustrated Confession

After Eiriri got permission from him, Hikigaya Hachiman's orderly daily routine returned.

Recently, the juniors next door come to visit less and less often.

This is because she has recently been busy reorganizing her debut work. In order to be able to serialize it for a long time, the published content will definitely be different from the content during the newcomer reward period, or even completely changed, leaving only the core of the existence, which is particularly time-consuming. Mental effort.

Another reason is that Wu Geng Liuli is pursuing the pursuit of relying on her own strength to move forward, and will not always rely on him or trouble him as before, because after all, it is still the girl's own light novel, where her hard work is concentrated.

This makes Hikigaya Hachiman feel great, and he also wishes Goda to successfully transform and become a light novelist who can stand alone.

On the other side, his contact with Fairy Yamada and Nayuta has never been broken. His chat with Nayuta is still about writing skills and ideas, while his chat with Ms. Yamada is more about the direction of their new works.

During this period of rest, both parties must have an idea of ​​the direction of their new work.

In the end, Ms. Yamada decided to stick to her old formula of a different world harem theme, and add a few other elements, such as the setting of "Fantasy Demon Swordsman".

Stitch Monster is indeed a way out, especially for otherworldly works that are highly homogenized. Whatever is popular will gain popularity.

As for himself, the future direction is gradually clear in his eyes.

In a blink of an eye, Valentine's Day has arrived again.

Compared with last year, the atmosphere in the class this year is obviously more restless. After all, this is the last year of high school. If you don't express your feelings, you may never have such an opportunity in your life.

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the men and women in the class who were giving away chocolates and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's great, this is youth."

Although he was just like an observer, there were some disturbances in his heart.

Falling in love was a feeling he had never experienced before. He was a little curious and hid a little fear.

For the first time in life, when will it start and who will it be with?

This question lingered in his mind.

"Forget it, there's no need to think so much."

He slapped his forehead with his palm to wake himself up.

In the afternoon, at dusk, he suddenly received a call from Nayuta.

"Senior, I have something urgent to ask you!"

"What's the emergency?"

"It's an emergency! Senior, come here quickly. It's right where we first met."

"I see."

Hikigaya Hachiman hung up the phone with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

What's the emergency at this time?

Thinking of this year's festival, inexplicably, he had some idea.

In a small park.

The sun was setting in the west, spreading its rays of light everywhere. The beautiful silver-haired girl stood among them and looked up, her long hair flying in the wind, forming a beautiful picture.

The scene, which looked like a CG in a game, made Hikigaya Hachiman stop to watch, and was speechless for a moment.

"Senior, you are here."

But Nayuta seemed to notice something, and looked back at him with a joyful expression.

"Well, I'm here."

He walked over slowly.

When the two sides were close at hand, Hikigaya Hachiman saw the girl suddenly take a deep breath.

"Senior, please accept my wishes!"

Ke Er Nayuduo handed over the exquisitely packaged small box with both hands.

Sanyi'er Bayi Temple Yiwanjiu

"Eh."

He swallowed, feeling his breathing become faster.

"This is?"

He said trying to stay calm.

"Chocolate, chocolate for the birth year of my senior!"

Keer Nayuta stared into his eyes with a serious expression and an emphatic tone.

Here, there is a saying about chocolate on Valentine's Day. For male friends who are not in love or with whom they are attracted, the chocolate that is just to express gratitude to the other person for taking care of them in the past is called "Giri Chocolate". The opposite "Honmei Chocolate" is naturally Give it to the person you like and express your feelings.

The little love of the girl in front of me was now integrated into this chocolate.

This is handmade chocolate that she made by herself, and she had been practicing for a month before she was satisfied with it.

"this."

Hikigaya Hachiman's expression was stunned.

Although he had some forebodings in his heart, he was still a little unprepared when things actually happened.

His thoughts fell into temporary confusion.

But Nayuta did not give up, but expressed it more clearly.

"Senior, I like you, please date me!"

The girl's eyes seemed to be covered with mist.
